Why WordPress?
WordPress is a mature Content Management System with a huge following. As an open-source project, it also offers free access to its driving code, and most importantly, hundreds of people work to make it incredibly user-friendly.
Q: What is WordPress?
A: WordPress is a popular content management system, if not the most popular, that allows you to easily manage websites without needing to know how to code.
Q: Is WordPress free?
A: Yes, WordPress is free to use and open source. However the design and development inside of each WordPress website is what makes a website unique and what would make you stand out.
Q: Can I use WordPress to create an e-commerce website?
A: Yes, you can use WordPress to create an e-commerce website using plugins like WooCommerce and others.
Q: Do I need coding skills to use WordPress?
A: No, you don’t need coding skills to use WordPress. However, some basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript can be helpful for customizing your site. Merkados will handle all the administration tasks of your site if you use our AIM System, including content creation, optimization, backups, speed improvements, and maintenance, so you don’t need to worry about it.
Q: Should I choose a theme for my WordPress website or should I choose custom design?
A: If you have a established business and you are not “testing” your ideas, but rather creating a better digital marketing tool, custom design is probably the best choice. Simply because the benefits of custom design are clear and they can provide your business with a competitive advantage. On the other hand, if you are just starting a new business, and you are not sure if your business idea is actually going to work, it may make more sense to use a customized template for its lower cost.
Q: Is WordPress secure?
A: WordPress is generally secure, but like any other software, it’s important to keep it up to date and use secure login credentials to prevent hacking.
Q: Can you add custom functionality to my WordPress website?
A: Yes, we can add custom functionality to your WordPress website. Often times, there may be some functionality available already in plugins. But sometimes, and depending on the complexity of your functionality, the only option may be custom coding.
Q: How do I optimize my WordPress website for search engines?
A: To optimize your WordPress website for search engines, focus on creating high-quality, authoritative and experiential content with supporting media, using relevant keywords, optimizing your page titles and meta descriptions, and building quality backlinks. You can also use SEO plugins like Rank Math to help you optimize your content.
